About Jasmine green tea
Jasmine green tea is a fragrant blend made by infusing green tea leaves with jasmine flowers, a practice originating in China during the Song Dynasty (960–1279). This tea is widely celebrated in East Asian cuisines for its delicate floral aroma and soothing flavor. Nutritionally, jasmine green tea is low in calories and contains antioxidants like catechins (specifically epigallocatechin gallate, EGCG) and flavonoids, which contribute to its potential health benefits. The caffeine content is moderate, typically around 20–45 mg per serving depending on the brewing time, which is lower than coffee but higher than most herbal teas.
Health Benefits
- Rich in catechins (antioxidants), which support heart health by reducing LDL cholesterol and improving blood vessel function.
- Contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a compound linked to enhanced brain function and protection against neurodegenerative diseases.
- Provides moderate caffeine and L-theanine, promoting alertness and a calming effect simultaneously.
- Supports weight management due to its thermogenic properties that can aid calorie burning.
- High in flavonoids, which may strengthen the immune system and minimize inflammation.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store jasmine green tea in an airtight container away from moisture, light, and heat to preserve its aroma and quality. Brew in hot (not boiling) water at 175–185°F (80–85°C) for 2–3 minutes for optimal flavor.
